I know that started this brilliant idea so I wanted to carry it on for her and as the forum has become a little gloomy recently as we face loosing them both soon.
So
1. daloni and dizzie outlasted their prognosis by years and I am sure proved that you can have quality of life despite doctors best guesses and we all benefited from knowing them on here.
2. I just got back from a fabulous holiday in Galicia, northern Spain. I walked more than I have for months (chemo pushed me into a wheelchair) the food and wine was fab and I met old friends and laughed a lot.
3. Macmillan have admitted that their upgrade has been a bit sh*t and are working on improving it. Hurrah for Macmillan who have admitted it didn't go well. How many organisations actually come out and say that.
I don't like to think that newbies think that we are a miserable lot, what struck me on here when I came was how much joy, laughter and living went on despite cancer.

Maybe shave off what's left and get a henna tattoo. They look lovely. There's a woman on Etsy - somewhere I think in Eastern Europe (not Ukraine) who makes lovely hats. Quirky and fun. Hugs. Rainie x
I went for the shave this afternoon Rainie, I was at the hairdresser's anyway so just bit the bullet. It wasn't going to get any better.
Never thought of a henna tattoo though!! That would be nice for summer
Someone posted a picture of a lady with one very recentlly .Spectacular.
The special hats were sold through Etsy, someone might remember more.
Looking good, what a lovely smile. That will probably get me thrown off for sexist behaviour.! X
You look great. Now, some nice big earrings and a bit of slap and you're a wow! Rainie x
